The latest release of PowerMill CAM software from Delcam includes improvements to the Vortex high-efficiency area clearance strategy, developments in toolpath simulation and verification, improved collision checking to cover near misses, and more efficient raster finishing, area clearance and drilling. Users can now perform complete verification of a project for machine tool issues such as collisions, saving considerable time compared to verifying each individual toolpath in turn. Comprehensive verification includes ensuring that the machine tool is capable of running the proposed strategy as well as checks for both machine tool and other tooling collisions. A detailed list is generated of any problems found so that these can be fixed on a case-by-case basis.
